The version angband shipped with FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE is vulnerable to a local buffer overflow attack. Since it is setgid games, a compromise of files and directories owned by group games is possible. 

/* FreeBSD 3.3 angband exploit yields egid of group games
* usage: gcc -o angames angames.c
/path/to/angband `./angames <offset>`
* overflow is 1088bytes of NOP/Shellcode + 4bytes EIP +2bytes garbage
